A company here by the name of Purity makes flavored syrup.  It's not the healthiest thing but a surefire way to have the ratties sucking at the syringe. 

Ha! I have a list..  I have tried just about everything..

I've tried pear, papaya, peach cobbler, turkey, apricot [with pear and apple], applesauce, sweet potato, apple oatmeal, and apple rice ceral baby foods. I've tried blackberry, cherry, apricot, and raspberry jelly. We did PB thinned out with honey, and the afore mentioned jellies. I tried honey by itself, and honey with butter. Tried coffee once, because they just love it so.. Tried thinned out  garlic/chive mashed potatoes and the soup part of my chili..

I've tried it on a piece of buttered toast, and they ate that one time.. They thoroughly inspect every piece of toast now..

I generally suck up the meds into the syringe, and then get the 'mix' in there as well. Proceed to shake and curse the syringe trying to mix everything up. Cold Baytril and cold jelly don't mix very well, heh!

I hope your Kerfuffle isn't half as picky as my girls. 

Obviously, don't use this every time (too fatty), but this is my old standby to really get that emergency or first few doses in----

BUTTER.

'Nuff said.

I use pancake syrup thinned a bit with water. 

Cool whip with a drop of organic agave syrup?

This question is coming up quite often. Baytril IS absolutely disgusting. I don't blame the ratties. I also tried millions of things but my girls could still smell and taste it. The only way my girls took it was the tablet version of Baytril mixed with water (I got the right dosage from the vet of course). I put it in chicken with gravy baby food or cool whip. It's pretty much tasteless and you can't smell it. I think Suebee does the same thing. Hers is liver flavored and her rats love it.

My no handle rattie I had to use leather work gloves it was a last resort and he actually didnt associate them with me so they never got bit, he did take chunks out of the syringe though.

Well, I would never mix the meds myself. The vet figured out how much of the tablet (which was a tiny amount) to give and she mixed it with water. So in the end it was liquid but as I said tasteless and no yucky smell.

So I tried sucking up some maple syrup into the syringe with the Baytril.  Kerfuffle was very interesting in the syrup, but not the syringe.  Picky boy.

So then, I didn't want to give him an abundance of syrup, so I mixed the syringe contents into a little puddle of turkey baby food (shh,  don't tell mom's kittens!).  He loved it.  However, I think I made the puddle too big in my efforts to conceal the medicine, so it took 30+ minutes of coercing him into eating every last bit.  I ended up giving the last bits to him on my fingertip.  I'm off to the store in a bit to see about getting some variety in flavors so he doesn't catch on.  Hehe...

I guess my boy just hates the syringes.  The vet even had a hard time getting him to take the Ivomec orally!

I'm still interested in others' ideas! It's amusing to see how hard we have to try to trick our ratties!

I just had to add this..

I tried the Nutri-Stat that... someone recommended a while back. Sorry, but I can't remember who it was, heh! Anyhow, I offered the icky Baytril on a spoon mixed with a small glob of that, and all three girls gobbled it right up! No fuss whatsoever, and my two littles even fought over the spoon! I'm ecstatic right now. This is the first dose in a while that we haven't had to fight over the meds. Yay!!!

Lucky!!

My girls LOVE Albon Suspension (custard flavored) and fight over who gets the next dose.  I wish Baytril was like that!

When my girls had Baytril it was HOT pink. Wasn't sure what the vet put in it. They drank it by themselves from the syringe. Then they got better and smarter. I mixed it in baby food, lasted 3 days then they would turn there noses up and I would waste that dose of medicine.  So I had to force the meds in my girls twice a day. They hated it but I made sure they got what they needed.  If forcing is the way to go, have a treat handy, something they love so when they take the meds the next thing they get is the yummy treat. All was forgiven after that.
